Chapter 269 was already very happy.

Mu Xiaoyu watched Liang Fei's departing figure and fell into deep thought.
Now that things have come to this point, she and Li Chenxu have more and more clues at their disposal. Logically, she should be happy at this time, but for some reason, she feels as if a stone is pressing on her heart, so heavy that she can hardly breathe.
She glanced down at the address in her hand, and finally said to the bodyguard beside her, "At six o'clock this afternoon, send two people to this address to pick up what Mr. Liang gave you. Remember, be careful and don't let anyone see you."
"Yes, ma'am."
After parting ways with Liang Fei, Mu Xiaoyu didn't linger outside and went straight home. The outside world was far too turbulent; the longer she stayed out, the easier it would be for Mu Pengzheng and his group to make their move. Mu Xiaoyu didn't want to experience something like what happened before.
Xu Sulin called Mu Xiaoyu as soon as Li Chenxu returned that evening.
“Hey Mu Xiaoyu, let me tell you beforehand, this time I will deliberately have someone follow you and kidnap you, but I won’t really do it. I’ll just make it look like Mu Pengzheng is doing it, and call you to say something. Don’t say I deliberately targeted you later.”
Xu Sulin made the call somewhat reluctantly, but considering the importance of this matter, he still honestly explained what needed to be explained to Mu Xiaoyu over the phone.
Mu Xiaoyu's mood wasn't really good all day, but when she received Xu Sulin's call and heard his impatient tone, for some reason, her mood suddenly improved.
She chuckled and said to Xu Sulin on the other end of the phone, "I know, but... what if one of your thugs doesn't know his own strength and hurts me?"
"How can it be!"
Xu Sulin immediately retorted. Even over the phone, Mu Xiaoyu could imagine Xu Sulin's furious reaction. Mu Xiaoyu's mood improved, and she continued to tease Xu Sulin, saying, "That's not necessarily true. After all, these things are unpredictable."
"I won't let anything happen to you, I'm not that stupid!"
Xu Sulin was probably furious. After saying that, he hung up the phone without giving Mu Xiaoyu a chance to speak.
Hearing the dial tone on the other end of the phone, Mu Xiaoyu finally couldn't help but laugh. When Li Chenxu got home, he saw Mu Xiaoyu's overjoyed expression.
Mu Xiaoyu's smiling face made Li Chenxu feel very good. He walked to Mu Xiaoyu's side, hugged her from behind, kissed her, and asked with a smile, "What's making you so happy?"
"It's nothing, Xu Sulin just called, and I teased her a bit."
Mu Xiaoyu paused for a few seconds, thinking of Xu Sulin's furious appearance, and her smile deepened. She continued, "I never realized Xu Sulin was so interesting. If I'm in a bad mood in the future, I can play with her more, and it will cheer me up."
Li Chenxu had no interest in Xu Sulin. When he heard Mu Xiaoyu's words, he focused on the words "in a bad mood".
He held Mu Xiaoyu's shoulders, making her turn to face him, then lowered his head and pressed his forehead against Mu Xiaoyu's, asking softly, "Are you in a bad mood?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoyu's smile slowly faded. She pursed her lips, gave a soft "hmm," and said, "There have been so many things going on lately, it feels like there's a stone weighing on my heart."
Are you still worried about Mu Pengzheng?
Mu Xiaoyu nodded, wanting to tell Li Chenxu how she felt, but for some reason, when the words reached her lips, she didn't know how to say them.
Seeing this, Li Chenxu pulled her into his arms and kissed her, gently comforting her, "Xiaoyu, we've been married for several years now. In these years, we've been through a lot, some good and some bad, but no matter what, the days we spent together before can't compare to every day we have now. Now, when you're with me, do you feel happy every day?"
"Of course!"
Mu Xiaoyu answered immediately without the slightest hesitation.
In the past, even if she faced the current threat from Mu Pengzheng, she wouldn't have been too worried or afraid. At worst, she would just die.
But now she's so happy with Li Chenxu, and because of that, she's started to worry more and more. She's afraid something will happen to her, she's afraid something will happen to Li Chenxu, and she's afraid that after all this time, their lives will be ruined.
All the worries stemmed from both sides, not from a genuine fear of Mu Pengzheng himself.
Seeing Mu Xiaoyu's anxious reply, Li Chenxu's thin lips curled up slightly. He lowered his head and kissed Mu Xiaoyu's eyes, then continued, "It's precisely because we're happy together every day that we have nothing to worry about, right? Anyway, no matter what the final outcome is, whether it's life or death, good or bad, the two of us being together is enough. Whatever happens, the two of us facing it together is enough, isn't it?"
Li Chenxu is not good at comforting people, but what he is saying now comes from the bottom of his heart.
We have made the best-case scenario plan and the worst-case scenario plan.
Mu Xiaoyu didn't speak, looking up at Li Chenxu, lost in thought. After a while, she buried her head in Li Chenxu's chest and mumbled, "I know..."
Perhaps it was Li Chenxu's words that had an effect, because Mu Xiaoyu's mood did indeed lighten considerably afterwards.
In the afternoon, the bodyguards also retrieved Liang Qiao's belongings from Liang Fei. Because of the passage of time, it was unknown which items still contained Liang Qiao's DNA data, so they brought a lot of things.
Mu Xiaoyu mentioned this matter when Li Chenxu came back that night, and then directly handed the things over to Assistant Lin to handle.
The filming of Song Yin's movie will take about a year. Due to location shooting, she will also have to go abroad. The domestic part of the filming is almost finished. Next week, Song Yin will go abroad to film the rest of the movie. So before leaving the country, she met with Mu Xiaoyu.
Just as Mu Xiaoyu was discussing with Xu Sulin which day to carry out their previous plan, the day she met with Song Yin was a good opportunity, so it wouldn't seem too abrupt and arouse suspicion from Mu Pengzheng's side.
"Are you sure this is really okay? Isn't it too risky? Should we ask someone else to do it?"
Mu Xiaoyu briefly explained her plan to Song Yin, but Song Yin was not as optimistic as Mu Xiaoyu. After listening to Mu Xiaoyu's plan, her face was full of worry.
